A Hall of Mirrors: Cabala, Spiegel Der Kunst Und Natur, In Alchymia (1615)
"Featuring four alchemical engravings by Raphael Custos — much reproduced since Carl Jung included the third as “The Mountain of the Adepts” in Psychology and Alchemy (1968) — Cabala’s leading symbol is the looking glass, which the author offers as a tool for penetrating the mysteries of alchemy and divinity. The century spanning from 1550 to 1650 saw the publication of hundreds of books with “Speculum”, “Spiegel”, and “Mirror” in their titles, a testament to the technology’s immense power over the European imagination."

"Ian Gladwin is one of a small group who have worked together to create and build Pansophers.com which is probably the foremost online resource of knowledge and information about the Rosicrucian Tradition and their modern successors.
Ian will be sharing with us current research that he has been undertaking in a presentation that he is has entitled ‘The Gold and Rosenkreuzer Order’. Much of what he will be talking about is not widely known and will almost certainly be new to you."

Alchemy, Chemistry, Academics & Satire in the Northern Netherlands |

"This essay argues that we should consider perceptions of and associations with alchemical language and practices in academic and artisanal as well
as popular culture in the Netherlands in order to gain a better understanding of the supposed transformation of alchemy into chemistry in this region. A fresh
view on the sites of Dutch chemistry around 1700 is provided, demonstrating that the unique sociopolitical and geological characteristics of the Low Countries
meant that the process of the “disappearance” of alchemy was distinctly different from that in the neighboring German lands. Finally, the essay shows that, as
Lawrence M. Principe has previously suggested, the rhetoric with which Herman Boerhaave and other Dutch academics rejected the “excesses of chemistry” was
less empirically than morally and socially motivated."

Review of Emblems and Alchemy |

Review of Emblems and Alchemy, by Alison Adams & Stanton J. Linden, eds.
by Russell J. Ganim
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
"Combining revived interest in both the emblem and alchemy, this volume is the third in a series of works on emblem studies published by the French Department at the University of Glasgow. Its ten essays, divided among three major categories entitled, “A Theoretical Perspectives”, “The English Alchemists”, and “Continental Manifestations”, stress inter disciplinarity as they explore the relationships between text, image, and alchemical practice. Broad in scope but detailed in its analyses, the compendium raises several intriguing questions about the correspondence between literature, art, and pseudo-science. Despite the diversity of its topics, the collection is often surprisingly unified in its discussion of authors, motifs, and themes. With the exception of some gaps in argumentation, Emblems and Alchemy makes a significant contribution not only to the field of emblematics, but to early modern studies."
